You are OVER 50 MIN sessions and JUST talk! You are OVER feeling like you are starting to open up in therapy and then time runs out. EMDR Intensives (2 hrs a day, 3 days a week) and extended sessions in person can give the spaciousness needed to deeply process your experience so you can feel better faster. I specialize in helping highly sensitive women (HSP) who feel overwhelmed, hyper-vigilant and not trusting of self move toward feeling relief from childhood trauma, complex trauma, sexual trauma, and unprocessed grief. People-pleasing, feeling like a burden and stuck heaviness can shift to lightness in body, freeness and hope.

It is not uncommon to feel lost at different points in life. Life can be complicated: Family dynamics, career fulfillment, managing multiple responsibilities, understanding your partner, overwhelmed from transitions, making sense of the past. I believe that together we can process your experiences which can lead to a meaningful life and personal growth. It's a huge step attending therapy and I welcome you into this space with sensitivity and compassion. I am a Latinx therapist dedicated to working with adults. I am licensed in Oregon (T1596) and California (111592). I am currently seeing clients for individual therapy.

I am mostly telehealth-based with some in person.
I would describe my approach to therapy as mindfulness/self-compassion-based. I treat a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, addictions, interpersonal issues (i.e. couples counseling), psycho-spiritual/religious conflicts and abuse, sexuality, and pragmatic life-coaching, to name a few. I have extensive experience working with the LGBTQ community, some "out," others not; some religious, others not. I use elements of CBT, ACT, DBT and other models. I also explore with my clients deeper-seated issues, including exploring our "shadows", blindspots and the roots of addiction and shame. I am licensed in OR and WA.

Thanks for taking a moment to consider my practice. If you're seeking therapy, I applaud you! Seeking support to navigate chaotic moments in life is not easy and is also a wonderful gift to give your self. Therapy has been an instrumental support throughout my life since I was a teenager. Through my journey I've found healing and medicine in talk therapy, yoga, herbalism, intuitive readings, nature immersion and countless writings by Black feminist authors (Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Audre Lorde, Prentice Hemphill). I'd like to offer you a space to bring both your wins and your struggles, knowing you'll receive compassionate care.

I believe we each have within us all that we need in order to create the life we desire and that therapy is a collaborative effort between client and therapist to work towards creating this life. I see my role as a therapist to be one in which I inspire clients to open up to the possibilities within themselves and to support, challenge and hold them through that process. I also strongly believe that healing comes from addressing all parts of the self (emotional, physical and spiritual) and bringing these into alignment.

Grief is involved in any life change, whether that change is welcome or unwelcome, abrupt or expected. Grief is part of being human, yet our society struggles to acknowledge and support it. You might arrive grieving the death of a family member or friend, the end of a relationship, or even anxiety or depression that only seems to grow. Perhaps you are grieving previous life events you wish had never happened, or the life you lived before the pandemic. My expertise is in providing a place for your grief to land—a place for you to not have to be ok. And in doing this, I help people process grief so it does not define their lives.
